How to setup and install the KVM! Here are the instructions:

1. Check you can do hardware virtualisation

grep -E '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

2. Install the following packages (these are the basic ones you need for fedora)

libvirt virt-install qemu-kvm

3. Enable and start the libvirt daemon

systemctl enable --now libvirtd

4. Check the kernel modules are loaded

lsmod | grep kvm

5. If all good, then you should be able to start virt-manager and start making virtual machines :)
